Gluteal Region Flashcards
Gluteus medius origin
Gluteal surface of ilium
Gluteus minimus insertion
Greater trochanter (anterior)
Gluteus maximus origin
Gluteal surface of sacrum, ilium and coccyx
Gluteus minimus origin
Gluteal surface of ilium
Tensor fascia lata insertion
Iliotibial tract
Gluteus medius innervation
Superior gluteal nerve
Tensor fasica lata action
Abducts and medially rotates at hip
Gluteus maximus action
Extends thigh, assists lateral rotation
Gluteus medius action
Abducts and medially rotates at hip. Secures pelvis to prevent pelvic drop of opposite limb
Gluteus medius insertion
Greater trochanter (lateral)
Tensor fascia lata origin
ASIS and anterior iliac crest
Tensor fascia lata innervation
Superior gluteal nerve
Gluteus maximus innervation
Inferior gluteal nerve
Gluteus maximus insertion
Iliotibial tract
Gluteal tuberosity of femur
Gluteus minimus action
Abducts and medially rotates at hip. Secures pelvis to prevent pelvic drop of opposite limb
Gluteus minimus innervation
Superior gluteal nerve
Obturator internus action
Abducts and laterally rotates
Piriformis insertion
Greater trochanter
Superior and inferior gemelli origin:
Superior: ischial spine
Inferior: ischial tuberosity
Quadratus femoris innervation
Nerve to quadratus femoris
Obturator internus origin
Pubis and ischium at obturator foramen
Piriformis action
Abducts and laterally rotates
Gemelli insertion
Greater trochanter
Quadratus femoris origin
Ischial tuberosity (lateral)
